Gaotang City is not a big city, but it is not crowded to accommodate tens of thousands of people, the Bohai Sea is still a mess in the first two hundred years, just like the Sang Kingdom, the so-called princes of all sizes occupy one side, in order to ensure that they are not destroyed, castles are begun to be built everywhere, they are also large and small, and the stars are dense, and then the black warriors came in and destroyed some, the larger cities are still there, and the small cities have become ruins.

It has been more than a hundred years since the black warriors fought the most ruthlessly, and at that time, the strategy of the black warriors was different from Daning's destruction of the Bohai Sea, and the black warriors did not plan to destroy the Bohai Sea, just raise it like a dog.

A hundred years ago, it was a big battle, and the black army entered the country, without any reason, and did not give the Bohai people a chance to surrender, that is, to kill people, to slaughter one place at a time, and after that time, the population of Bohai dropped by about one-third.

In the more than 200 years since the founding of the Bohai Sea, the black army has fought at least 200 times, sometimes twice a year, sometimes once a year, and sometimes it has not been fought for two years but suddenly it is ruthless.

At that time, the black warriors beat the Bohai people, and people felt that they would fight when they thought about it, whether you made a mistake or not, so the Bohai people's fear of the black warriors was not formed overnight, but accumulated over the past two hundred years.

A few years ago, the border pass in the northern part of the Bohai Sea was not allowed to close the city gate to the Heiwu side, and the Heiwu people saw that the Bohai people were not allowed to close the gate once, no matter day or night, in this way, the Heiwu people were more comfortable fighting, just like going to a person's house to bully others and not allowing them to close the door, so that they could continue to bully next time.

The Gaotang City where Shen Leng led the army was one of the places where the Black Warriors slaughtered the tribe more than a hundred years ago, and the Gaotang City was still called Fox City at that time, and the general who led the Black Warriors said that the people in this city were slaughtered, because he didn't like foxes.

At that time, there were refugees who ran from all directions to take refuge in Gaotang City, there were no less than 100,000 people crowded in the city, and the black warriors were too lazy to cut down one by one, and directly set fire to Gaotang City, and a fire burned a city and burned 100,000 people, there is a folk legend on this side of the Bohai Sea, every time it is cloudy, it is said that you can hear the call in the city, they say that it is a ghost that has not dispersed for more than 100 years, and it is still suffering from burning every day, So every time it was cloudy, they would come out and cry wolf howls at the sky, hoping that a pouring rain would extinguish the fire on them.

The current Gaotang City was rebuilt more than 20 years after the massacre, and a large number of people who migrated from the southern part of the Bohai Sea had to rebuild the city, and they also needed shelter, although they knew that if the Heiwu people came again, the city would still have no meaning.

Shen Leng leaned on the city wall and looked out, a layer of smoke and dust had appeared in the distance, it was the cavalry of the black army, and from a distance, it seemed to be a monstrous wave formed by yellow sand.

"Okay."

Shen Leng was playing with two small pebbles in his hand, and he was a little happier when he saw the smoke and dust outside the city, the black warrior came, he dragged these 50,000 people, and the pressure on Yan Kaisong on the side of the Northern Han City would not become greater, and the pressure on Meng Changan would not be so great.

Shen Leng threw the pebble under the city and shouted to the soldiers outside the city: "Come back, men." ”

As Shen Leng shouted, more than 10,000 recruits outside the city who were digging pits stopped one after another, they had already dug a mess outside the city, there was no law at all, and the dense pits were all pits, about a foot deep, after Shen Leng gave the order, the horns began to blow on the city wall, and all the recruits outside the city retreated.

After a while, the recruits gathered on the school ground, Shen Leng stalked up the high platform, and glanced down, and the soldiers were all waiting for Shen Leng to say something with an expectant face.

"The generals of the standard battalions are out of line!"

As Shen Leng shouted, more than a dozen generals of the standard battalion all ran towards the high platform, more than a dozen five-grade generals fought in a row, Shen Leng squatted on the edge of the high platform and looked at them, smiled and said: "I shouted to five, you run outside the school gate from here, the first three people who ran to take your standard camp to the city wall, the first batch to defend the city." ”

The dozen or so people froze for a moment, and then they all got excited.

Shen Leng stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone stared at him and shouted one, two, three, four, five.

"Five!"

Shen Leng directly shouted a five-word, and more than a dozen people below were flustered again, and then some people turned around and ran, and some people reacted slowly, and they were divided from each other at the beginning, and more than a dozen generals wearing armor ran towards the outside of the school gate, and when they were halfway through, Shen Leng looked back at the herald: "Blow the horn, the assembly number." ”

The herald immediately raised his horn and began to blow, and the dozen or so generals who ran out stopped almost at the same time to look back, and all hesitated, some of them could not hold their breath and began to run back, while a few did not come back and continued to run towards the door.

A few people ran to the gate of the school field, Shen Leng stood on the high platform and smiled, looking at the few people who ran back: "A few of you, run three laps around the school field." ”

Several people looked at each other, and said in their hearts that they really shouldn't have run back, and there were two of them who rushed ahead at the beginning, and now it seemed that the first task of going up the city wall was not their turn.

Then he said to the hesitant generals: "You run five laps." ”

Then he looked at the people before him and said, "After running three laps, take your people to get the arrows, you are the second group." ”

Shen Leng turned his head to look at the generals who needed to run five laps: "You are the third batch." ”

Xin Jigong stood aside, looking at Shen Leng expectantly, seeing that Shen Leng didn't mention him at all, he was a little anxious, raised his hand and pointed to his nose: "I, General, I." ”

Shen Leng looked at him: "Oh, you go and take the veterans as auxiliaries to carry supplies and weapons for the recruits." ”

Xin Jigong was stunned: "I take the veterans and serve as auxiliaries for the recruits?" ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Is there any difficulty?" ”

Xin Jigong looked at Shen Leng in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while, Shen Leng turned his head to look at the recruits, and shouted loudly: "Didn't you hear clearly, then I made a louder voice for you all to hear, I just gave General Xin Jigong an order, let him take the veteran soldiers to you as auxiliaries, carry supplies and weapons for you, if they are not well supplied, you can scold the street, but there is one thing, I gave you face, if you can't keep it, if you can't keep it, if someone is afraid, someone wants to leave, that is not to give me face, It doesn't matter if I lose face in front of the veterans, I'm a general, you lose face in front of the veterans, don't even think about raising your head for the rest of your life. ”

"Did you hear me clearly?"

"Hear me clearly!"

The recruits shouted at the top of their voices, all of them blushing and thick-necked.

Shen Leng looked at Xin Jigong and said with a smile: "It's not too urgent to send the necessary materials for defense now, if it's delayed, I'll be the first one to open the knife." ”

Xin Jigong was convinced, and he was really convinced by the general's arrangement, and if he was to make arrangements, he must have selected veterans to go up to the first batch of defenses, but the general dared to send recruits who had no experience in defending the city.

Xin Jigong followed Shen Leng and smiled flatteringly as he walked: "General, otherwise, you can take me as an apprentice." ”

Shen Leng glanced back at him: "How old are you?" ”

Xin Jigong said: "Twenty-nine." ”

Shen Leng: "You are one year younger than me, I will take you as an apprentice?" ”

Xin Jigong said: "I want to learn from the general, for example, today, arrange the first batch of recruits and let the veterans be auxiliaries, and the recruits will feel the trust and attention of the generals to them, so they naturally do their best, and they don't want to lose face in front of the veterans, so there must be no problem, and then rotate down, and when the veterans go up, if they are not as good as the recruits, they will lose face, so the veterans will also do their best." ”

Shen Leng said: "Since you have thought so much, the city defense has been handed over to you for three days." ”

Xin Jigong was stunned: "General...... I'll command? ”

"Well, you'll command."

"Then why three days?"

"After three days, you won't have to guard it."

Shen Leng walked forward, Xin Jigong was still following behind, Shen Leng glanced back at him again: "Now that I have handed over the city defense command to you, what are you still doing behind me?" If you don't do well, I'll leave you in one day, maybe half a day, maybe an hour, if you want to follow me, follow me, I'll go to the toilet now. ”

Xin Jigong's face turned red, and he turned around and ran to the side of the city wall: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Shen Leng walked around the city like a wanderer, and there was nothing suitable for pretending to be forced in the city, so he was a little lost, if there was a pond or something, he would go fishing, let the soldiers know that he didn't take the black warriors outside seriously at all, so that the soldiers would also have confidence, but not to mention the pond in the city, there is no puddle, if you fish in the well, it will be a little exaggerated.

There is really no suitable place, Shen Leng found a few soldiers to call a few buckets of water, and then he found a big brush to come over, thinking that since he can't fish, then practice calligraphy under the city, His Majesty let him practice calligraphy when he has time, it seems that he has not practiced for a long time, but it is just right at this time, so he thought about using a big brush to dip water on the road to write, he looked indifferent, and the soldiers would feel that they had a bottom in their hearts when they saw it, and Shen Leng was a little happy after thinking of this, and put the big brush into the bucket and dipped it in some water, looking at the ground but stunned...... What to write?

It's not that he can't write, it's that more and more curious soldiers around him gathered, Shen Leng thought that if he wrote by himself, he might be laughed at by his subordinates for three or five years, he was not thin-skinned, the main thing was that he couldn't lose his identity as a general.

So after muttering for a long time, Shen Leng raised the brush: "What's interesting in writing." ”

After saying this, he was going to throw the brush into the bucket and stop writing, and it was a big deal to find something else to pretend to be, but as soon as he turned around, it was as if he saw a pack of wolves, and the onlookers called it an expectation.

"Interesting, interesting! Definitely interesting! ”

"That's right, general, write quickly, we've heard that your handwriting is ugly, and we haven't seen it yet."

"Yes, General, let's open our eyes."

"General, how can you say it's not interesting, you see everyone like this, you think it's interesting."

Shen Leng: "Ahem...... Would you please give me the respect I deserve as a general? ”

"Then the general, you will write a few words less?"

"Phew! The general said, respect, respect can be written less? ”

"It makes sense, general, write a few more words, we have all heard about your writing in Western Xinjiang, let us also see and understand."

Shen Leng snorted: "You are really pushing me, but I will disappoint you." ”

He wrote a word on the ground, and the hand holding the knife was so steady, so it was naturally difficult to see where the word went.

"General, you are foolish, you can't see a word!"

"yes, it's too easy to write one."

Shen Leng snorted again and wrote a word on the ground.

"Wow!"

The onlookers all erupted in boos.

Shen Leng picked up the pen and wrote another three words, and the boos were even louder.

After writing, Shen Leng threw the pen away: "See it!" Isn't it ugly! ”

Someone shouted: "Then the general will write another four." ”

Shen Leng turned around: "Three words a day, don't write more, don't exhaust your pen strength." ”

After saying this, he ran away like a fly, not pretending to be forced at all.
